In an article Research on Renewal Challenges for U3A's published in the U3A Network Queensland news on 9/10/2023, John Armstrong reviews the book ‘The University of the Third Age and Active Ageing European and Asian-Pacific Perspectives’, (2021) edited by Marvin Formosa, describing it as providing "a rigorous comparative analysis of the U3A movement informed by research, scholarship and practice. The book draws upon a diversity of global U3A experiences and contexts, offers a unique and necessary update overview, and analysis of the U3A movement, and looks ahead to future challenges, with policy recommendations. The final Chapter 21, available to read online here, also contains a passionate call to action for the U3A movement to renew itself in order to remain relevant for an incoming generation of older persons."
